Ugh…just ugh…

That debate was an absolute dumpster fire. We really have just fucked ourselves haven’t we?

Any who…

I thought tonight was going to be the night. I had the PS5 and a copy of Elden Ring in my cart and I was going to buy it on a payment plan. I tried 3 times, but the internet at work was being wonky and we had a late night emergency come in and I wasn’t able to make the purchase. What I mean to say is, after trying to make the purchase 3 times, I took it as a sign and gave up. Honestly, I’m really grateful this happened.

Earlier this year, after looking at not only all the things I want to accomplish, but also at the back catalog of games I’ve got for my switch, I made myself a little challenge. I picked a spread of 20 games I either hadn’t started or hadn’t even played and told myself if I could beat these games and, in the process, put about 1000 additional hours onto my Switch, I’d buy myself the PS5. While I obviously want to clear some of my back catalogue, I also want to clear some debt and avoid impulse buys. Further, I still really struggle with completing goals that I set for myself. I’ve got some big things I’d like to do in the next decade, and I can’t hold myself accountable, they’re just not going to happen.

I was really giving into the impulse tonight and I’m grateful that I ultimately wasn’t able to.

Dick’s for listening!
